There Was Me

I want you

To give me

Another piece

I want you

To not hold it in

All those chances

You said were not worth it

You held your breath

And you turned

Looked me in the eyes

And said

You were safer living the lies

You always sold

All those stories

Never told

So I watch you break

Unfold

And there you are

The real you

Give it a break

Give it up

No one has to know

No one is here

It's just you and me

And the stars

The air we breathe

I'm sitting here

I won't leave

No one has to walk away

And I won't say

Anything

If you want silence

I'll break down the barriers

The walls

If that's what you need

And you already know

I will bleed

I will bleed for you

So give yourself a chance

A break

Take a breath

Breathe me in

I'm standing here

I'm so close

I'm so ready to take you on

Whatever pain

Whatever need

You carry

You don't have to do it alone

Not anymore

You were never that far away

Right there

So now that I'm here

Take a look back

Before you leave

And just remember

There was me
